Site Maintenance

Many web authors spend a significant period of time developing web content and features, then leave their web site never to be modified. This is a counter productive issue, the web site becomes dated and stagnant. Many users come back to review the same site time and time again for any number of reasons, perhaps for updated information, or special deals. They do look for changes in the site, on a site that doesn't change these users will soon lose interest. To keep the site current requires regular periodic maintenance, either through updates or changes, or consider additional pages.

After a site changes the indexing service needs to be updated, that is to say the search engines need to be told that the site has been updated.

Corrections and Adjustments

Throughout the life of any web site there will be a requirement for corrections or adjustments.

Corrections to the site are generally unplanned, that is to say that there is an error in the site. This normally occurs in the content. Although through our interactive process errors are minimised there is still the possibility hat they could occur.

Adjustments are usually planned updates and changes. These can include modifications to the content (including addition and removal of content), the layout of the site, including page layout and site navigation, or the addition or deletion of pages, and the knock on effect of modifying the navigation.

Search Engine Update

Your site should be submitted to search engines on a regular basis, this will make sure that your entry in the search engine is current. It is also important not to submit to the search engines too regularly or you will be excluded from the listing.

Site Maintenance Support

In order to keep a site up to date and correctly maintained may require a number of Information Technology skill, for example the understanding and use of the core web page language and any scripting techniques used. Alternatively you may wish to invest in a professional package to aid the maintenance of your site such as Macromedia Collaborate.

We can undertake on your behalf the maintenance of your site which means that you do not need to become conversant with either the scripting or the web page code, nor do you need to make a major investment in specialised software. Your only requirement is to provide instructions as to which modifications are required.

We can also provide a search engine submission service that will regularly resubmit your web site to relevant search engines on a regular basis to keep you high in the rankings.

Virtual Webmaster

Our Virtual Webmaster service can provide regular proactive support for your website.
